The code line says:

(defvar *default-bin-type*
  #+RT "bbin"
  #+(:AND :LUCID :RIOS) "rbin"
  #+:IRIX "mbin"
  #+MCL "fasl"
  #+ACLPC "fsl")

How do you say #+: ?  Where is it in the manual?
What is the line for Lispworks?

You don't.

Nowhere, because it doesn't parse like that.
It parses as:   #+  :IRIX
Which is the same as #+ IRIX
because #+ and #- read the following s-exp in the KEYWORD package.

The same as for any other implementation:

(defvar *default-bin-type* 
 #.(pathname-type (compile-file-pathname 
                     (merge-pathnames "TEST.LSP" (user-homedir-pathname)))))
